Want to help address an important social inequity while staying at home? Check out Project Sidewalk! Project Sidewalk, from the Makeability Lab at the University of Washington, aims to expand accessibility for people with physical disabilities by transforming the way accessibility information is collected and visualized for every sidewalk. Contributing is easy, online, and limitless. Volunteers can contribute by labeling sidewalks through the online portal: projectsidewalk.io. For your hours to be counted, you must sign up and remain signed in while labeling. Once signed in, click "Start Exploring" to begin! You'll be taken to the tutorial first, and then you'll get going with labeling. If you're not sure how to label something, you can always check out the "How to Label" guide. Your hours will be verified by Mikey Saugstad (michaelssaugstad@gmail.com).  

Notes for Frontliners, is an online platform that allows community members to write notes for frontline healthcare workers that are ultimately printed and delivered. To encourage more people to write notes and to allow students to receive volunteer hours in quarantine, we wanted to ask if you were able to list writing notes on our website (we approve 1 hour per three people referred to write a note) as a volunteer opportunity for students on Naviance / x2VOL.
